Like reinventing a wheel and all they do is add complexity , as example Java..another moving target, write something for it, change rel. BANG does not work. Like Windows, if IBM did this, they would have been out of the Boz decades ago.

IMHO it sounds like "put lipstick on pig" (a term from my country). I hate this idea. Many tiers to access a simple TSO resource or program... Angular... Java... JSON... Python... Webserver... and my mainframe application is a good Rexx, PL/X and low level routines with ISPF showing popups, menus, colors and browsers... :) Long life to TSO... CMS.. :) My contractor's justification is to bring young people to mainframe world trough new technologies. Of course... This is only my opinion.
